Hi Russ, good to see some movement on here again, I can only hope it's because people are now starting Winter projects rather than a loss of interest in cafes.
As for the Trident, I walked away, he eventually got it started in a belch of blue smoke, it ran like a sick dog and continued to fill the lock-up with blue exhaust and sounded like it was falling apart.
I bought a 1996 CBR 1000f for £750 instead which I have enjoyed over the Summer, but put to bed a couple of weeks ago with a view to a nut-and-bolt resto over the Winter. Not cafe culture I know, but she's in far too good a nick to start tinkering with!
